Arkansas
The Razorbacks won in controversial fashion in their 77-71 victory over Seton Hall. With the Razorbacks leading by one point with 18 second remaining, Jaylen Barford was fouled by Seton Hall’s Desi Rodriguez. And after reviewing the play, the officials ruled a flagrant 1 foul, giving Arkansas two shots and the ball back.

That decision effectively ended the game, but you can’t overlook Arkansas’ performance. Despite their leading scorer, Dusty Hannahs, being held to 14 points on 3-for-8 shooting, the Razorbacks still managed to win.
Moses Kingsley had a day to remember. The 6’10 Nigerian scored a game-high 23 points on 10-for-13 shooting, including his seventh three-pointer of the season. He also added 6 rebounds and 4 blocks.
Arkansas will face the 1-seed North Carolina in the second round.
